Peak Season:
For an unforgettable experience, take a flight to Sydney during the Sydney Festival. It runs from just after New Year’s through January and brings over 100 events. It’s a great festival to experience, however to find the cheapest flights to Sydney you should book well in advance for the festival period. Also during the summer are yacht racing, surfing and other water-sport competitions. Australia Day is on the 26th of January, and is a great day of partying and patriotism.
Off Season:
Sydney has pleasant weather even during the cooler months of the year, with spring and autumn being great times to visit. Rain is more common in spring but it doesn’t linger for long, and it offers you the best chance of finding cheap flights to Sydney.
When is the best time to book flights to Sydney?
Cheap flights to Sydney aren’t impossible to find, but generally due to the length of travelling involved they won’t ever be bargain prices. That said, if you book your flights to Sydney in advance, at least a few months, you’ll have a better chance of saving money. Flights to Sydney also tend to be cheaper between October and November, although this is only slightly. The best way to save money on your flight tickets when booking your flight is to be flexible on the dates you want to travel. Australia isn’t a cheap country to visit so any savings you can make on your flights will definitely help you out. Also, if you can, try to sit on the left hand side of the plane for stunning views of Sydney as you descend. This is weather dependent but the right hand normally just offers views of the ocean.
